Derek Ting grew up in Canada-land, enjoying all the things of the area but especially hockey. He mentioned he has a bit of ADD, which made it hard for him to make it through a chapter in school. Nowadays, he has 2 kids. His oldest son plays hockey, and he and his family enjoys rooting on the Toronto Maple Leafs. When asked about food, he claimed to be one of lives to eat, as he loves food. In fact, the more exotic food the better - but not as far as insects or something.
When Derek figured out that carriers wanted to charge for texting, on top of the fees he was already paying for his phone and associated services. He found this atrocious, and he wanted to figure out a way to text for free - and eventually, all phone service.
This is the creation story of TextNow.

Everything we know in the world is ultimately dependent on energy. Energy fuels our bodies as well as our civilization. Energy is literally everywhere and all around us.
Yet for the longest time, we had no idea what energy really was. It wasn’t until relatively recently that scientists had a grasp on energy as a concept, and once they did, they unlocked the related concepts of work and power.
Learn more about energy, work, and power, what they are, and how they are different from each other on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
